"If he could once realise that the dogmas of the Church were the dogmas of the universe; and not only that, but that the world convincedly realised it too;-why then, the fact that the civilisation of today was actually moulded upon it would no longer bewilder him."

"If he could once realise that the dogmas of the Church were the dogmas of the universe; and not only that, but that the world convincedly realised it too;-why then, the fact that the civilisation of today was actually moulded upon it would no longer bewilder him." A man suddenly comes to himself with no idea who or where he is, having in his head the ideas of the early twentieth century, but living some sixty years later, in a world that radically departed from the ideas of the twentieth century and instead found Christ. But, while he wrestles with this new state of affairs, finding himself in a position of some importance, the old ways reveal that while they have laid low, they have not yet lost their grip on all men's minds. The Dawn of All was written by Monsignor Benson as a sort of antidote to The Lord of the World, a fascinating parable of what the world could be if it acknowledged Christ as King.
Autorenporträt
Robert Hugh Benson was an English Catholic priest and author who lived from 18 November 1871 to 19 October 1914. He began his ministry as an Anglican priest before being welcomed and ordained in the Catholic Church in 1903. He also wrote a lot of fiction, including Come Rack! Come to Rope! and the well-known dystopian novel Lord of the World. His works include current fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional writings, and historical, horror, and science fiction. In parallel with rising through the ranks to serve as a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911 and earning the title of Monsignor before passing away a few years later, he continued his writing career. Benson, the younger brother of E. F., A. C., and Margaret Benson, was the youngest child of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his wife, Mary. Robert Hugh Benson attended Eton College for his education before attending Trinity College in Cambridge from 1890 to 1893 to study classics and religion. Benson's father, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, gave him his ordination as a priest in the Church of England in 1895.
